The Waverly Watchman fears that the
Republican party of Jackson County will
act the hypocrite and unite on the Re-
publican ticket. Why, of course they
will unite-in fact have never been di-
vided-that is, true Republicans. We all
"point with pride to the Dow law" because
it gives us prohibition of the traffic, and
compels the enemies of sobriety and de-
cency to join the Democratic party as
their forlorn hope. The Republicans are
united, of course

If the whisky influence were gifted
with common horse sense, it would not
attract so much attention in politics or
social affairs. But madness seems to be
part of the method of the great Ruler
for destroying the Internal business. So
violent and insolent does this crime be-
come that things are reaching such pass
that decent man can scarcely engage in
conversation with friend on the street
with drunken man present, lest an in
suit shall be attempted on the part of the
doggery influence. This is all right.
Things are going rapidly in the right di-
rection. Let the traffic rush madly to it's
own destruction, and we do not think
anybody will be grieved

A prominent Coal Operator remarked
to us the other day, that no County with
in the range of his observation had
prospect for brighter future of Jack
son County. We believe this is correct
view of the situation. The coal business
is barely begun in the County, and there
are immense fields of coal and ore yet un-
touched. Farmers need not be in hurry
to dispose of there minerals. Capital
will be after them before great while.

Bill Jackson was sent up from here
some time ago for shooting his wife,
whom he accused of being too intimate
with another man, Much sympathy was
felt for Jackson, and it was thought that
there were mitigating circumstances not
brought out at the trial. A petition was
circulated asking for his pardon, and he
was paroled. He came back to Jackson
and remained short time, when he dis
appeared, and we had not heard from him
until we picked up Columbus paper last
week, and found this reference to Will
liam:
at seems to be only the correct thing
now for paroled prisoners to break the
restrictions of the parole law and be re-
turned to the Penitentiary. Two more
prisoners have gotten into trouble who
were out on parole. William Jackson
was sent from Jackson for shooting with
intent to- kill, and paroled September 1,
1886. Last Wednesday Jackson became
involved in cutting or shooting scrape
in Middletown, brought about, it is claim
ed, by undue intimacy with another
mans wife. The authorities at Middle
town have been telegraphed that if the
facts are as reported to arrest and hold
Jackson. Flickenger, man sent from
Wayne County, was parOled, committed
some crime and was put in Jail at Cleve-
land. He escaped from there and is now
at large.

A Democratic View.

CHICAGO, April G.-Commenting on
the result of yesterdays election, the
Times, Independent Democrat, says: The
people of Chicago have given their answer
in no uncertain tones to the brazen de-
mand of the hay market banditti for a
surrender of the municipal government
into their blood stained hands. The can
didate of the red flag barbarians for the
mayoralty has been defeated by a majority
approximating $4,000 and his associates
on the city and town tickets have suffered
a like righteous fall. The result is a mag
nifcent triumph for the intelligence and
conscience of Chicago. 1t is a splendid
vindication of the patriotism, the common
sense and the sturdy manhood OF the great
masses of her people.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-Judge May
nard has entered ON his duties as assistant
secretary Of the treasury.
The Evening Star says: There have
been numerous points Of controversy be-
tween Second Comptroller Maynard and
Secretary Endicott. The secretary of war
has not in all cases been willing to accept
the decisions of the second comptroller,
and has tried on several occasions to have
them reversed or overruled in some way.
There has been a conflict of authority.
Yesterday, just before retiring from the
Office of second controller, Judge Maynard
wrote a sharp reply to the secretary. He
SAID that the cases had all been settled
and the papers turned over to the second
auditor; that examination had resulted
in sustaining the decision reached in the
first instance, and that the matter would
not again be reopened. AS to the an
nouncement that the secretary of war in
tended TO send the cases to the court of
claims, he calls attention to the fact that
the cases are entirely under the jurisdic-
ton of the treasury department and can
not be taken to the court of claims by the
head of any other department.

WASHINGTON, April Con applica-
ton of Frank Q. Stewart, of Denver,
Col, the secretary OF the interior has rec
commended a suit to test the validity of
a certain patent issued to the Kansas Pa
cifc Railway company for land that was
included within a presumption filing at
the date when the rights of the company
attached. The importance of this action
lies in the fact that it is not claimed that
there was a settler on the land until said
filing had been made, but that the exist
ence of the record filing is in itself sufi-
cient cause to Justify the suit.

ifornia to withdraw from sale all tickets
reading over any portion of the Pennsyl-
vania system, the New York Central &
Hudson River, the West Shore and the
New York, Lake Erie & Western rail-
roads. This is in retaliation for the action
of these lines for declining to sell tickets
over the Denver K Rio Grande because

The Lusk Justice Wants .sThe Leader
LOcaI's Scalp.

In the last issue of the Lusk Herald
there is a communication three-fourths Of
a column in length, signed by NJ. G. Mar
tin, who is the justice of the peace at
Lusk, in which he goes for THE LEADERS,
local scribe in fine style, and among other
things says:
THE CHEYENNE LEADER saw fit to
attack me through its columns for an al
legged irrcgularity in the returns of a mar
rage license. The returns we're legal. but
they chose to find it a loophole to vent
their spleen upon mo in particular and the
northern end of the county in general"
Now, Mike, me boy, be good; don get
worked up to that point which will induce
you to pull off your primary garment, for
you might be accused Of hosting the
black flag. We have only a word to say,
and first of all let us
Rise and remark
And our language is PLAIN,
that from the above, taken from your
spicy communication to the Herald, it IS
learned for the first time that there are
returns" to a marriage license. Down
this way one return is considered sufficient.
Returns is good, Mike. Now, ledge"
there is another point in your communi-
cation to which your attention is directed.
You say.
".As a rule the county commissioners
(Messrs. Kelly, Hunton and Swan ap-
point whoever they want up here regard
less of the wish of the people.
As it takes more than one instance to
make a rule, aud as the only appoint
ments to Office made by our county COM
missioners at Lusk are yourself and one
other person, 1t must necessarily be in
ferrcd that your appointment as a justice
was regardless of the wish of the peo-
pie 10 all you have had to say about
disregardinG the rights of the people OF
Lusk, and such other flap doodle of that
sort which your communication c~ontains,-
no comment is necessary, for such stuff is
not only silly but untrue.
Now, Mike, again we say be good; and
when you make out another marriage
license don say that the ceremony was
performed according to the rites of no
particular form" but say according to
law, " and then you will have it right.
Good day, Mike
